Arriving on the wing

www.mtutd.tv

The OS reports MTU have signed Thai international Jakrapan Pornsai from Police United. The highly rated winger - born in Nong Khai according to Wikipedia, Korat according to the OS - was impressive in both matches against MTU last season and at twenty three years old he has his best days to come. Fringe player Chaiyanan Phombuppha has moved the other way but only on a one year loan with no recall option.

It's encouraging to see MTU's ambitious policy. Players who are too good for the domestic league are being sold on to pursue their careers but are being replaced with the best local talent.

More signings and departures are sure to come. If I had my way, there'd be at least one more player making the switch from PU to MTU....
